thorn replied Feb 6, 2011Any reason you want so many different sets of pairs? Is there something you will look at to decide which one to use? I had an idea one time to match up my set according to how each buy and sell were trending at the time and giving each a value, then ...

thorn replied Feb 6, 2011Im only testing 3k accounts so all my trades are .01(10 cent). But your right there is difference in the value of each pip move, maybe if I ever trade higher lots that would be a consideration. Edit: To be fair I have not really tested set 2 and 3 ...

thorn replied Feb 6, 2011Achab, That should be interesting. Question though, MMTU 6.0 at 500:1 on only a 10 k acct. That would seem a bit extreme in lot size. Would you trade it live with those settings? Either way it will be interesting to monitor your results. Thank you.

thorn replied Feb 6, 2011Hey JCS, I understand. Seeing your balance drop has a negative effect on your brain. LOL. Once you have drawdown it doesnt matter if you close a winner or loser or both. You still need to gain winning trades to get the equity pop. The whole concept ...

thorn replied Feb 6, 2011Ok, Im going to post this again, same as last Sunday. You guys are getting wrapped up in the account balance. It does not matter what the account balance is, only the account equity. Now look at your open phantom trades, close a winning trade and ...

thorn replied Feb 5, 20113k account at 50:1 is good for testing. As jcs said IBFX is good for this or Oanda. Both have unlimited time demo accounts for longer term testing. Some brokers only allow 30 day demos (Alpari for ex.). Others that I use for testing and allow .01 ...

thorn replied Feb 3, 2011StopAfterNoTrades if set to "true", will not open a new basket after your current basket reaches its PP and closes. Set to "false" the EA will continue to run and open a new basket right after the current one closes. It has nothing to do with ...

thorn replied Feb 3, 2011I had two identical phantom6_01x that I ran for three months. One was at 100:1 and the other 50:1. 100:1- 14.5% gain, 10.5% max DD 50:1 - 12.1% gain, 5.65% max DD I would think at higher leverage both the gain and max DD would go higher. All depends ...

thorn replied Feb 2, 2011Maxx, You are correct. Cutting a loser or using recovery has no effect on your equity. Recovery incurs more spread cost and reduces your available margin.

thorn replied Feb 2, 2011One thing to keep in mind about the statement in bold above. Cutting losers reduces your balance but NOT your equity. The EA logic is all about your equity not the account balance. When you use cut loser or use recovery all your saying is hey, this ...

thorn replied Feb 1, 2011Had the same problem. I was away from comp so didnt see it happen live. But looking at time stamp the EA open a recovery trade when there were already 3 trades in profit for the pair. closed 2 hours later with a 58 pip loss. I have stopped testing ...

thorn replied Jan 27, 2011I believe the name came from a mod added to a phantom06 EA and the "x" was just used to identify the mod ie, phantom6_01x. What the x factor is: The EA will not take a trade unless any other open trades for that pair are already in profit. If you ...

thorn replied Jan 23, 2011Within the buy group or sell group, no they dont have to be correlated. Now they may be somewhat (eur/cad and eur/gbp in buy group), if euro is strong then both will probably being going up. What Im trying to do is counter balance any long trades ...

thorn replied Jan 23, 2011MBK, Interesting, I like it. Especialy the phantoms not being reset on terminal shutdown. Mostly because Im a dummy and "X" out my terminal instead of minimizing it sometimes. Question on adjusting the lot size. Does it make much difference when ...
